Score 93/100 · Drink 2021-2033, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Mar 2021
From an average of 19-year-old vines on jurassic limestone (Oxfordiens) and picked between September 5 and 26, the 2018 Sancerre Chambrates opens with a clear, refined and aromatic nose with ripe pear and delicate flint stone notes. Round, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a rich and full-bodied but perfectly balanced Chambrates with very fine tannins and lingering salinity. Tasted in February 2021.
